- I experience awful tension build up in my shoulders and back, but just can't always justify the cost of regular professional massages (which cost upwards of $300 for 80 minutes in New York City).
- Roughly two years ago, I decided to buy $4, and it's been a godsend in helping me find daily relief.
As a combined result of years of living in New York City and suffering from TMD, I deal with a severe amount of physical tension in my shoulders, jaws, and neck. I routinely experience migraines and tension headaches, which likely isn't helped by the fact that I don't always remember to drink enough water.
The only thing I've found that gives my back and shoulders immediate relief from the tension is $4 two years ago.
How it works
$4 features four rotating, heated nodes that knead away stress and tension and get deep into the knots in my shoulders and back. The nodes switch directions every few minutes just like they would in a massage chair, which prevents bruising and helps to melt away muscular tension from different angles. The heated element, which can be turned on or off, also warms the muscles and keeps them limber throughout the $4.
It's the closest thing I've experienced to a professional massage at home, minus the $250 price tag. I also like the convenience of being able to watch TV while using it as it doesn't drown out any audio or make it hard to focus.
